The RC8 features Maxwell’s revolutionary, and patented, new Wave Design™ chainwheel.

The heavy duty stainless steel pressure arm is designed to effectively
help grasp the rope/chain splice, giving the RC8 an unparalleled level of performance. In combination with a heavy duty, large wire diameter, stainless steel pre-loaded spring, the pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure.

The RC8 works just as effectively with all-chain rodes.

Huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker.

Full disassembly capability of the topworks utilising only the handle provided and an Allen key.

The combined stainless steel and chromed bronze RC10 fully automatic windlass series is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 8mm (5/16”) and 10mm (3/8”) short link chain and 14mm and 16mm (5/8”) three strand or 8-brait (plait) rope.

A sleek, Low Profile version and a fluted stainless steel capstan drum version, are available.

Simple two piece installation saves time and money and allows easy retrofitting without disassembly of the windlass. Unique spacer tube design allows installation through virtually any deck thickness and the multiple mounting positions and self aligning gearbox ensure optimal
location of gearbox and motor in virtually all installation situations.

Full disassembly capability of the topworks utilising only the handle provided and an Allen key.

The RC10 is manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel and chromed bronze for long term durability. The heavy duty stainless steel pressure arm, coupled with the unique rope/chain gypsy, is designed to effectively grasp the splice between rope and chain, giving the RC10 an unparalleled level of performance.

In combination with a heavy duty, large wire diameter, stainless steel pre-loaded spring, the pressure arm pivots on a trouble free bearing, thereby exerting maximum control pressure on the rode and splice.

The RC10 works just as effectively with all chain rodes for those who desire a Low Profile, elegantly styled windlass on their foredeck.

Huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker.

The RC12 fully automatic windlass series is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 10mm (3/8”) short link chain and 16mm (5/8”) to 20mm (3/4”) three strand or 8-Plait rope (RC12-10) and 12mm/13mm (1/2”) short link chain and 20mm (3/4”) three strand or 8-Plait rope (RC12-12).

With a maximum pull of 1590 kg (3500 lb), and an anchor retrieval rate of 15m/min (50ft/min), the RC12-12 is one of the fastest and gruntiest windlasses in its class.

A sleek, Low Profile version and a fluted stainless steel capstan drum version, are available.

The all new RC12 is packed with patented innovative features combined with Maxwell’s traditionally classic aesthetics, but reflecting the modern form follows function of the highly successful RC6, RC8 and RC10 series windlasses.

The elegantly designed deckplate and chainpipe cover are manufactured in polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel, as are the heavy duty pressure arm, stripper, chainwheel and fluted capstan drum.

The huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker.

The RC12 features Maxwell’s revolutionary and patented new Wave Design™ chainwheel. Refer to RC6 page for more information about this innovative feature.

Emergency manual retrieval is made simple and easy with Maxwell’s unique Active Latch Ratchet System operation that prevents backwind of the windlass during manual hauling of the anchor.

The Maxwell-designed, all new and innovative black, hard anodised gearbox provides numerous advantages:
- Fast and easy windlass installation
- More corrosion resistant
- Easy to maintain and service
- Takes up less room in the anchor locker
- 75:1 Ratio (RC12-10) or 100:1 Ratio (RC12-12), single stage design with less moving parts, for smoother and quieter operation
- Allows for multi-positioning of the gearbox/motor.
